Ideas

Core Hacking
  • Perl 6 Core Hacking: Build and Test Intro: from the point of someone who know what piece of code needs to be changed: describe all the steps on how to submit that change. Include which repos to clone, how to compile, the MoarVM -> NQP -> Rakudo -> Roast pipeline, how to make change, compile it, add tests for it, test it, and ship it; from start to finish.
  • Perl 6 Core Hacking: Gut Map: an "orientation" sort of post that will outline where to find all the repos, bug tickets, and communicate with core members. Give a big picture view of how NQP, MoarVM, Rakudo, and Rakudo Star fit in and interoperate.
  • Perl 6 Core Hacking: A Yummy Bug Roast: explanation of how to add stuff to roast: finding tests needed tickets, finding the right place to add the test in in roast, testing your changes, fudging mechanism.
Others
  • "Abusing Perl 6 for Fun, Profit, and Utility: Custom Operators" a post about molding the language to what your problem domain may need; do custom ops primarily. Show how to regular ops to work on custom objects (like the Color.pm6 stuff). This is most likely enough to fill one post, but if not, maybe mention a small slang (if the Slangs post now exists, link to it)
  • Post about Junctions
  • Perl 6 ♥ Mojolicious: A Great Web Framework Meets a Great Language: examples of using Mojolicious via Inline::Perl5. Build a sample web socket app that uses Proc::Async to interface with the shell. Use Mojolicious::Plugin::AssetPack as an example of plugin usage.
  • Perl 6 Is My Drummer: Making Grammars Sing
  • Perl 6: Released By A Robot
  • Perl 6 Slangs: Molding The Language To Suit Your Needs: talk about implementation of //= signature defaults, since we gotta make that anyway.
  • Perl 6: These Aren't The Sigils You're Looking For: primarily to learn and explain what the @, % really are about in Perl 6, as compared to Perl 5. If too short, also expound the \\ "sigil" and maybe twigils too.
  • Perl 6 MOP: From Clean Floors to Spiffy Metamodel Hacking: start by showing some introspection features and end by implementing a useful custom metaobject.
  • Perl 6 ♥ Unicode: It Doesn't Hurt And I'm Loving It: showcase Perl 6 Unicode awesomeness, including texas vs unicode operators. Then, talk about .NFG and all the other crap that lets you work on individual characters. (make title more awesome; something with emojis. if there's space, make a slang for finger-air-quotes emoji to be used to quote strings).
  • Perl 6 Is Sooo Meta: Making Operators More Useful: detailed explanation of Perl 6 meta operators
  • Perl 6's Awesome Multi-Threading or How To Keep A Promise: detailed explanation of Promises. Include using Promises as an async signaler, where you .keep or .break a promise yourself.
  • Perl 6's Awesome Multi-Threading: It's Time To React!: detailed explanation of react/whenever construct. Be sure to learn whether a whenever on a Supply is an .act or a .tap. See if we can whenever in a sub that gets called somewhere from an another whenever in a react block.
  • Multi-Threading in Perl 6: Tapping Supplies of Awesomeness: detailed explanation of supplies and taps
  • Multi-Threading in Perl 6: Channel The Awesome: detailed explanation of channels
  • Perl 6: What Ye take So Ye Shall gather: (shit title?) explanation of gather/take. Be sure to include examples of takeing from called subroutines and so on.

Need a lot more Core Hacking posts!!
